Resurrection Truck Wash & Polishing
Rising from the Road’s Rough Patches

Resurrection Truck Wash & Polishing, led by Mike Hale, has emerged as a one-of-a-kind, first-in- Canada solution in mobile snow and ice removal for trucks and trailers. This high-quality operation fills a crucial niche by prioritizing the cleanliness and safety of vehicles, especially in the transportation sector. Resurrection Truck Wash & Polishing offers services from pressure washing and detailing commercial to residential vehicles, day or night. But beyond the spray and polish lies a story that’s as rugged and resilient as the machines Mike Hale revitalizes. A Road-Worn

Journey to Entrepreneurship
Mike’s journey to creating Resurrection Truck Wash & Polishing is paved with grit and long hours on the road. Raised with a strong work ethic and independent spirit, Mike left home as a young teenager, finding his path through family support and a relentless drive to build his own life. His initial step into the trucking industry was more than a job—it was the beginning of a vision. After 16 years of driving cross-country, Mike had seen firsthand the dangers of neglected road debris, especially snow and ice buildup, and the toll it took on fellow drivers. It was a chance conversation that altered Mike’s course. Someone suggested he had the skill and smarts to start his own business, and three months later, he did just that. In 2021, Mike dove into the world of mobile power washing with only a vision and a desire to “bring back the shine.”

Polishing the Vision: Building Resurrection Truck Wash & Polishing
Starting small, Mike grew his business by sheer determination and a commitment to excellence. He took his first loan from BBC to buy a loader, gradually building his fleet and outfitting it with equipment carefully sourced from places like Wisconsin. His reputation for quality service grew as he added more tools, each tailored to his specific needs—high-power washers, custom-made products, and more. His approach is unique: Mike doesn't just clean vehicles; he restores them, adding a personal touch and genuine care that few in the industry can match.

Bringing Innovation to the Highway
One of Mike’s most notable contributions is his focus on safety. Collaborating with companies like Titanium and Chrome in Belleville, Mike developed an innovative machine with cameras equipped with 4K recording, lighting, and a unique rooftop cleaning system to help drivers monitor road conditions. He added a TrucBrush to clear snow from trailers—essential in Canada’s icy winters. This device is indispensable, providing safety for everyone sharing the roads. In the long term, Mike envisions his machines along major highways and trucking routes, similar to a ‘Petro Pass’ service, dedicated to clearing snow and ice from trucks to reduce accidents and driver fines. Reflecting on his years on the road, Mike said, “Drivers are driving blind out there. They’re an eight-foot-wide, 53-foot driveway filled with snow and ice, moving 110 kilometres per hour. They cater to us, so why shouldn’t we cater to them?” His mission is clear: improve road safety while advocating for better working conditions for truck drivers.

Going the Distance: A Commitment to Excellence
Since the beginning, Resurrection Truck Wash & Polishing has prioritized customer satisfaction. Whether polishing aluminum to a mirror finish or providing emergency services after snowstorms, Mike and his team offer a level of commitment rarely seen. His work doesn’t just save trucks from wear and tear; it helps companies look their best—fast and efficiently. Clients trust him to keep their fleet in top shape, knowing he’s just a call away, anytime, 24/7.

The Legacy of Hard Work and Resilience
Mike often says, “I have a plan,” and his dedication and commitment to that plan is unwavering. Behind the long nights and early mornings is his vision for safer roads, which keeps him moving forward. He balances his business with raising his four daughters and remains dedicated to improving the lives of those around him. When asked about the future, Mike is characteristically modest. “If my machine saves one life, every penny I’ve put into this is worth it,” he says.

With his commitment to quality and a mission to protect, Mike Hale and Resurrection Truck Wash & Polishing is a testament to resilience, community dedication, and a legacy that’s only just begun.
